Chapter 122: The River Bottom Passage
We heard the sound of stormy waves in our ears, although the river at the bottom of the gorge was turbulent but there was no such big movement, we hurriedly walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, and were shocked to see that with the continuous swimming of the stone-patterned green dragon on the dragon pillar, the river surface illuminated by the moonlight suddenly became turbulent.
The river was rushing forward, but now it began to slowly rotate in the center of the river, and as the river swirled faster and faster, we were stunned to see the scales shining in the moonlight......
Dragon scales!
We stand on the top of the mountain and can clearly see the green dragon swimming in the heart of the river, the whirlpool must be the green dragon making waves, and slowly we find that it is not one, but just twelve.
These twelve green dragons are connected end to end in a circle in the center of the river quickly circling, the moonlight shines on the dragon scales and reflects ten thousand points of silver light, it seems that the rumor that the twelve green dragons are guarding under the dragon pillar is not groundless, when the huge whirlpool in the center of the river separates the river, we actually see a passage to the bottom of the river.
We hurriedly asked Gu Xiaoxiao to take out the Fengshen Diagram and go down the mountain along the road, and walked to the whirlpool stirred up by the twelve green dragons by the river, and the passage led to the bottom of the dark river, this should be the passage left by Ying Zheng, I think that at the end of this passage, the twelve golden people who hid Ying Zheng's soul were waiting to wake up.
It's no wonder that no one has ever seen the twelve golden people since the Ying Zheng Sacrifice Palace sealed Qi Ziqi, who would have thought that Ying Zheng would hide the twelve golden people at the bottom of the river, not to mention that if there is no Gu Xiao's god map, it is impossible for anyone to open the mechanism on the lock dragon pillar, even if someone finds this place, they will never find the entrance.
Wen Zhuo turned around and told us to be careful when we went down, and then walked in front as always, we followed closely along the passage to the bottom of the river, when we completely walked to the bottom of the river, the green dragon hovering above our heads gradually swam slowly, and the whirlpool began to slowly close, and the passage behind us also disappeared into the whirlpool.
Looking up, we can also see the rushing river, we have reached the bottom of the river but have not been swept by the river, presumably this passage has the magic to protect the river.
The vanishing whirlpool obliterated the passage and cut off the moonlight, and we could only follow the passage at the bottom of the dark river, and no one knew where the passage would take us, until the light loomed in front of us.
We quickened our pace and walked towards the light, and when we got closer, we saw that it was the brazier standing on both sides of the passage, and the passage was also here, and the firelight illuminated the end of the passage, which was a small stone platform, and it was dark all around, except for the brazier to illuminate the stone platform around us.
"This ...... What is this place? Yun Duruo looked around and asked in surprise.
Her voice was not loud, but it echoed for a long time in this dark space, which shows how vast and profound the darkness that we cannot see now.
No one could answer Yun Duruo's question, originally thought that at the end of the passage we could see the twelve golden people we were looking for, but except for the stone platform that could stand the size of a palm, the rest was a darkness that could not be penetrated by the eyes.
The prince tore off the corner of his coat and wrapped a stone, then infected it with lamp oil in the brazier, lit it and walked carefully to the stone platform, threw the lighted stone down, and we all gathered around to watch the fire fall rapidly, but until the fire slowly disappeared, we did not hear the sound of the stone falling in our eyes, and the place where we now stood was afraid that the abyss was deeper than the cliff.
"Look what's on the other side?" I said to the prince.
The prince rekindled a stone ball, and threw it at the opposite side with amazing strength, the light of the fire, although faint, could be visible in the darkness.
While!
The stone actually hit the opposite side, and the firelight illuminated the opposite mountain wall, and we saw the red color, but the firelight disappeared in an instant, and we didn't see what it was at all, but judging from the sound, the stone platform we were standing on was not far from the opposite side, and since the passage brought us here, there must be a way to get there.
Unfortunately, the light of the fire here was too dim to see the situation on the other side clearly, and the prince suddenly took the Vajra Bodhi rosary from his wrist, held it in his hand and put it together in his mouth to read the scriptures.
I could tell that he was reciting the Ten Rounds Sutra, that he was the reincarnation of King Jizo and that he had regained his mana, and that the rosary shone with golden light in the palm of his hand and then gathered together to become a single orb.
This is the wishful bead of the king of Jizo, and the prince sacrificed himself in the thorn tree to refine the magic weapon.
The pearl illuminates the path to heaven.
The prince walked to the stone platform and raised one hand, the moment his five fingers opened, the light of the wishful beads instantly illuminated everything here, and we saw the situation on the other side, but suddenly his face was full of surprise and confusion and was stunned in place.
There is no passage on the opposite side of us, but a huge barrier that is completely invisible, but no matter how I look at it, it seems to be a huge painting, the big one is completely beyond our imagination, and the lines painted on it are also very simple, a moon above, a sun below, are painted in crimson, it is too big, and we can only see it clearly when we look up, if this is really a painting, then I really can't think of anyone who can draw it, I just feel that standing in front of this huge sun and moon we are as small as ants, And the blood-red color looked a little eerie.
The Ruyi Bead in the prince's hand suddenly lost its light, and our eyes were focused on the huge sun and moon painting, only to see Wen Zhuo close the prince's five fingers when he turned around, the panic and shock on his face were unprecedented to me, he had never seen him fear anything before he had regained his heavenly power and memory, but now I saw fear on his face.
I just wanted to open my mouth to ask what was going on, when I saw Wen Zhuo's erected finger in front of his lips to signal us to be quiet, my eyes fell on the gold wedge he was holding in his hand, and his gold armor was already draped on his body, I was secretly shocked in my heart to see Wen Zhuo's actions and knew that we were in danger, but this place was empty and there was nothing, I still wondered what Wen Zhuo was afraid of.
He didn't even speak anymore, but pointed cautiously and slowly to the passage, he moved very lightly as if he was afraid of making any slight sound, and we quickly understood what Wen Zhuo meant, he was telling us to retreat along the passage.
Now that he has the power of the heavenly realm and the golden armor to protect his body, but he is like a great enemy and has no intention of resisting at all, we don't understand what makes Wen Zhuo so jealous, but since he is so frightened, it must not be a simple matter, so we hurriedly retreated to the passage lightly according to Wen Zhuo's guidance.
Wen Zhuo was engrossed in his vigilance, and he didn't turn around slowly until we all retreated from the stone platform, but as soon as we took a step, there was an earth-shattering roar behind us, and the sound was deafening, and it was inexplicably chilling in my heart.
With the unusually bitter sound of the wind blowing from our backs, we could not stand still and fell to the ground, the only light burning in the brazier was extinguished in an instant, and the surroundings as far as the eye could see were completely plunged into darkness that could not be reached.
Wen Zhuo sacrificed the fire charm to re-light the brazier, and in the dim light of the fire, I saw everyone else lying on the ground, but fortunately, everyone was fine, and Wen Zhuo's calm and stern voice came from behind him.
"Go back along the passage, go as far as you can, I'll fight for you first, but...... It shouldn't be able to stop for too long. ”
I didn't understand what Wen Zhuo was trying to resist for us, and after hearing that he meant to stay and break off, I got up from the ground and said.
"Everyone who comes together must go out together, no matter what happens, we are all life and death and ......"
I stopped before I could say the word, and when I turned around, I saw Wen Zhuo looking at me with a cold face, but my eyes were not on Wen Zhuo's face, but at him behind him, in the endless darkness opposite, there was an extra round of red sun, in fact, I don't know what it is, I just feel that the red and blood-like giant circle is as huge as the sun, but it does not emit light, and when the others turn around, they also look up at the huge red circle that is difficult to describe in words.
Before, there was still a dark darkness that could not be penetrated by the eyes, and this red thing seemed to suddenly appear out of thin air, which made us feel a little inexplicably afraid.
We stared at the giant circle in shock, and suddenly the darkness swallowed the crimson circle from top to bottom, but soon it slowly reappeared in front of us from the bottom up.
I frowned and walked forward involuntarily, looking carefully at the crimson giant circle, there was something moving and shrinking in it, which reminded me of human eyes, and suddenly the corners of my mouth squirmed, and I looked at Wen Zhuo with a panicked face.
"This ...... What the hell is this? ”
I think this should be the source of Wen Zhuo's fear and fear, the more I look at the crimson circle, the more it looks like eyes, but I really can't think of anything that has such huge eyes, and can have such big eyes...... I can't even imagine how big it must be.
I heard Wen Zhuo sigh weakly although he looked resolute, the golden mace in his hand was held tighter, but I couldn't see a trace of desire to win in his eyes, he was definitely not a person who would give up, even if he fought to the point of a soldier, he would not frown and retreat, but now his resistance is just to help us delay time.
"The passage in has been annihilated, there is no way back at all, since we are here, no matter what we encounter, we will break together." The prince walked up to Wen Zhuo and looked at him with me, and said firmly.
"I'll do my best if there's any hope, and it's not because I'm afraid to let you go, it's that whatever we do is in vain." Wen Zhuo took a deep breath, slowly turned around and looked at the crimson giant circle, and said in a gloomy voice. "What we are facing may be something that someone can surrender, but it is definitely not us, Yingzheng actually left this thing here......"
